Acquire a License

Why do you need a license to use the NutriSTEP® questionnaires?

It is necessary that all copyrighted materials are licensed for use. The NutriSTEP® questionnaires are the products of substantial research and validation. In order to protect the integrity of the questionnaires and monitor their use, a formal licensing system has been established. This ensures that the questionnaires are used appropriately and clarifies everyone’s rights and liabilities. It also facilitates follow-up with users for possible improvements.

How to obtain a license

Licenses for Electronic Medical Record vendors or mobile device providers are available in collaboration with the Catalyst Centre at the University of Guelph. For more information, please contact: rjanis@nutristep.ca.
